President Wilson Signs Child Labor Act, 1916

Wilson signing child labor bill, 1916. The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916 also known as Wick's Bill, was a statute enacted by the US Congress which sought to address the evils of child labor by prohibiting the sale in interstate commerce of goods produced by factories that employed children under fourteen, mines that employed children younger than sixteen, and any facility where children under sixteen worked at night or more than eight hours daily. The basis for the action was the constitutional clause giving Congress the task of regulating interstate commerce. The bill was named for its sponsors, Edward Keating and Robert Latham Owen. It was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson (who had lobbied heavily for its passage) in 1916, but in Hammer v. Dagenhart, 247 U.S. 251 (1918), the Act was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States.
